My constant work in progress 14a with added jdm'ness!!!
I am sure that most people have seen pictures of my car on here before but I thought that It was about time I bore you all with them again and keep them all in one place:wack:
This is the car when I bought it

Looks much the same as it does now to be fair.
This happend shortly after I bought it while I was waiting in line at the post office to tax the car:mad:

While trying to source a new bumper I decided to treat myself to a 6000k hid headlight kit from HD as the stock lights are hopless and I'd heard many good things about this kit:nod:
These are a great upgrade and make you realise quite how bad the standard lights are :eek:

Ever since I bought the car it felt a little sloppy from the rear end. I decided to try and tighten the back end up by fitting some whiteline "pineapple" subframe locking colars like these.

While fitting these I managed to snap one of the main subframe mounts like the ones highlighted in the pic:mad:

Nissan obviously didn't forsee this being an issue as they made them so they weren't accessible and also not a replaceable part. I managed to get a member on here to cut one out of their car that was being broken and then set about trying to repair mine.

After we got this sorted I got my new front bumper and rear numberplate surround sprayed up for the bargin price of £100:thumbs:. I think the colour coded number plate surround makes a big difference to the look of the back end:thumbs:

It was at this point that I became addicted to underbonnet bling:ghey:
Within a few months my engine bay went from this:

To this:

I have done plenty else to to the car also including:
.Exedy extreme organic clutch and skimmed standard flywheel
.DBPower uprated gearbox mount
.Egay shortshifter
.Front + Rear strut braces
Plus more that I have forgotten.

And the result, all be it a bit poor and at 13psi.

I have since had it retested after a bit more work at a still weak but better 254 bhp/262 lbft @ 1bar. I am desperately in need of a remap as it's running really rich at the top end and killing my power aparently.
I should be fitting these in the near future, along with rebuilt calipers larger yellow stuff pads and braided lines all around.

I also have my Sard R2D2, Apex catch tank, SRB z edition rear valance and a full apex alignment arm set to get fitted
